Publisher's summary
The robbery was a piece of cake. The getaway was clean. And seven men were safely holed up in different places while Parker held all the cash. But somehow the sweet heist of a college football game turns sour, Parker's woman is murdered, and the take is stolen. Now Parker's looking for the lowlife who did him dirty, while the cops are looking for seven clever thieves - and Parker must outrun them all. When hunters and hunted meet, some win, some lose….

Story
You probably haven't noticed them. But they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters.

Steel-nerved master thief Parker has his eyes on a fat prize. The prize, a slow stuffed with money—a gambling casino on the Hudson River. It is not in Parker's nature to gamble, so he leaves nothing to chance. From the phony politician to the getaway boat, from bringing guns on board to getting the money off, Parker has it all planned. There are only a few problems.

When Phil Kramer is shot dead on a deserted suburban street in the middle of the night, his wife, Emily, is left with an emptied bank account and a lot of questions. How could Phil leave her penniless? What was he going to do with the money? And, most of all, who was he if he wasn't the man she thought she married?
Jerry Hobart has some questions of his own. It's none of his business why he was hired to kill Phil Kramer. But now that he's been ordered to take out Kramer's widow, he figures there's a bigger secret at work - and maybe a bigger payoff.

And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

You probably haven't noticed them. But they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters.

Story
The Hamlet, the first novel of Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, is both an ironic take on classical tragedy and a mordant commentary on the grand pretensions of the antebellum South and the depths of its decay in the aftermath of war and Reconstruction. It tells of the advent and the rise of the Snopes family in Frenchman's Bend, a small town built on the ruins of a once-stately plantation.

Originally published in 1954 to honor Stevens’ 57th birthday, the book was rushed into print for the occasion and contained scores of errors. These have now been corrected in one place for the first time by Stevens scholars John N. Serio and Christopher Beyers, based on original editions and manuscripts. The Collected Poems is the one volume that Stevens intended to contain all the poems he wished to preserve, presented in the way he wanted. It is an enduring monument to his dazzling achievement.

4 ½ stars. Entertaining. Surprising things.
I laughed several times. It starts slow but good later.
Authors: Here’s a great example of how to create a stupid (but smart) character who does wacko things. This guy really made the story. Had me laughing with surprise. I liked being in his head when he was thinking why he had to follow Parker. Because if he wasn’t always behind Parker, Parker might get behind him. He would have been smarter just to leave town, but he doesn’t - for weird reasons, and I bought it.
Cops are investigating the murder of a woman in Parker’s room and also the robbery that Parker was behind. The murderer stole the loot hidden in Parker’s room before it was divided. So now Parker and his buddies are investigating to get the money back.
CAUTION SPOILER:
I was shocked when Parker went to the homicide detective asking for information to use in his own search - and the cop gave it to him. Parker was a suspect!
END SPOILER
The narrator Stephen R. Thorne was good, but I wish he had a rougher or more gravely voice for Parker. His Parker voice was too clean cut and normal sounding.
THE SERIES:
This is book 7 in the 24 book series. It’s about half the length of a typical novel. If you are new to the series, I suggest reading the first three, and then pick and choose among the rest. I prefer reading them in order since there is a flow, and some books have spoilers about prior books. These stories are about bad guys. They rob. They kill. They don’t go to jail. They’re smart. Parker is the main bad guy, a brilliant strategist. He partners with different guys for different jobs in each book.
The first three books in order are: The Hunter (Point Blank movie with Lee Marvin 1967) (Payback movie with Mel Gibson), The Man with the Getaway Face (The Steel Hit), The Outfit.
Genre: noir crime fiction

Short, sweet, and the narrator makes it complete.
Stark & Parker are as entertaining as McDonald and McGee

Another great Parker novel!
I dont know if there are any crappy Parker novels. Stark had this down to a science. Never boring, never drawn out. Just beautifully delivered staccatto story.

Parker Makes a Mistake
If this were a Dortmunder novel – and by that, I mean if it were the exact same plot, staffed by him and his gang – it would be funny. After all, they make mistakes all the time and we laugh. But when Parker makes a mistake, a lot of people die.
Of course, Parker has made mistakes before -- just never this big. And in this seventh installment, Parker not only makes a big mistake but openly expresses his frustrations to his colleagues, a heretofore unknown show of weakness. Just as oddly, the happy ending (for Parker, of course) owes almost nothing to his efforts.
All this, added to the morbid fascination of a nefarious netherworld where bad is good, just makes a gripping story even better -- as does Stephen Thorne’s work at the mic.

This one's a lulu!
Parker was holed up in an apartment with a woman after a job. He went out for beer and cigarettes, gone ten minutes and back. The woman was dead and the cash from the heist was gone. $134,000 gone. There were seven men involved in the job. The thief had to be one of them. Parker went to the one man he knew the location of, Dan Kifka, he’s good. Parker gets the addresses of two more guys; Little Bob and Arne Fetchio, they sound good too. Flashback to the heist, detailed from start to finish. So much for the setup of the story. Three more guys to check out. Newspapers made a big deal of the woman’s gruesome murder that Parker left behind, and that gives him an idea. Parker pulls one of the most devious or unbelievable, depending on how you look at it, ploys to gather information that I have read about. This story is a nice twist from the usual Stark fare; Parker being ripped off, looking for the person that took the cash and killed the woman he was shacked up with. Rather than Parker being the cool, rational, perfectionist in his strategizing, he was frustrated and infuriated in his inability to find the stranger while the stranger tailed him. And IMHO made a few critical mistakes; mistakes, miscalculations, or short-sightedness - "potato, potahto". This was not like Parker, but playing detective was never his expertise.
